Download the SDK

Download the SDK from the downloads page. You'll need to log in with an ArcGIS developer account. Sign up for a free account if you don't already have one.

Save the file to a location on your development machine.

Install the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET

The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET setup can install any of the three .NET APIs you want to use (Windows Desktop, Windows Store, and Windows Phone).

Note:

All three APIs install when running the default setup if the system requirements for each are met. If you don't have the option to install one of the APIs, check your development machine to ensure it meets the system requirements for that API.

Double-click the setup file (downloaded previously) to start the setup.

Click Next in the welcome screen.

If you accept the license agreement, click the I accept the license agreement option and click Next.

In the Select Features panel, choose each API you want to install.

Click Change if you want to install to a location other than the default.

Click Next.

Finally, click Install in the last panel of the wizard to begin the installation.

The installation takes a few moments to copy and register the required files.

Once your ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET successfully installs, you are ready to start programming with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET.
